WW-Friendly Fish Nuggets Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the coating: In a small bowl, mix the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs, cornmeal (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip the fish: In another bowl, lightly beat the egg whites. Dip each fish nugget into the egg whites, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure an even coating.
- Place on baking sheet: Arrange the coated fish nuggets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Lightly spray the tops of the fish nuggets with cooking spray for extra crispness.
- Bake the fish nuggets: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the fish is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
- Serve: Enjoy with a zero-point dipping sauce, like a lemon-garlic yogurt dip, or serve alongside a fresh salad for a low-point, satisfying meal.
